The Big Dumb Fun Show airs from our studio in Kansas City, MO. A drive-time style format brings back the variety to your radio dial. Since our start as a ground-breaking internet radio show in 2005, local and national artists, comedians, actors, authors, and internget legends all stop by the show to reach the large diverse audience, and to have a lot of fun doing so. The show airs live on Monday Nights from 7-10p CST.
Always controversial and outspoken, Jeff "Venkman" Hirst considers his beginning in broadcasting was when he wrote skits and parody songs for the 'Randy Miller Morning Show' while in high school.. however nothing was ever used. This 27 year old prodigy co-founded the Big Dumb Fun Show in 2004 after being introduced to airwaves at an early age in rural Butler, MO. Venkman lives in Blue Springs, MO with his wife and daughter. Friend up with Venk on MySpace and Facebook. More about Venkman

It's the Big Dumb Fun Show's Year End Close-Out Sale! EVERYTHING MUST GO!
2009 is coming to and end and we got the whole gang in-studio to reflect on the year's past and make our BIG predictions for things to come in the New Year.
Along with bad weather hitting Kansas City over the weekend, Aaron Gnirk had some bad luck. He was planning on going out of town, but when winter weather stopped him from crossing state lines he turned around and headed back home... to find that his girlfriend was leaving him....on CHRISTMAS DAY! Birch Trees.
To make matters worse, he checked her voice mail only to find 3 message from Tiger Woods.
Referencing our predictions from last year, it looks like Kelly won the 2009 Death Pool with Ted Kennedy as her 'ace in the whole'.
Is anyone else surprised about the would-be 'taint bomber' that tried to take down a plane in Detroit upon landing..it doesn't seem to be getting much coverage..
Last year Venkman had a vision.. he actually predicted THREE things that totally came true... 1) The economy would NOT turn around like people thought. 2) Michael Jackson would make a comeback. 3) That Frank or Gnirk would not be a part of the show. His stock predictions tanked though... (he could've bought TTNP @ .03/share).
Facebook Fever is sweeping the nation. Everybody's on there, even escaped convicts. Gnirk brought in the story of Craig "Lazie" Lynch, an escaped convict that continues to update his Facebook account.
